Welcome
Low-Cost Counselling in Gloucestershire
At Earth Wisdom, we offer reduced-cost counselling to people across Gloucestershire (e.g Stroud, Gloucester & Cheltenham) who may not otherwise be able to access therapy. As a not-for-profit Community Interest Company (CIC), our mission is to make mental health support more accessible, inclusive, and affordable - particularly for those facing financial barriers.
Whether you’re on a low income, receiving benefits, or simply unable to pay full therapy fees, our sliding-scale pricing means you can still access professional, compassionate support - with dignity, choice, and flexibility.
Our reduced-cost counselling service is designed to remove financial barriers and ensure professional support is available when it’s most needed.
Accessible, Inclusive and Affordable Therapy
We believe counselling should be for everyone. Everyone deserves a safe, respectful space to feel heard, supported, and cared for - regardless of financial circumstance.
Thanks to grant funding and our dedicated team of practitioners, we provide:
-
One-to-one counselling at reduced rates
-
A clear, income-based pricing model
-
Confidential, tailored sessions to meet individual needs
We welcome referrals from GPs, schools, mental health professionals, social prescribers, community groups, and individuals reaching out directly.
At Earth Wisdom, community care is at the heart of everything we do. Our work continues to grow from conversations with local people, and we’re always listening as we expand and adapt our support.

We support individuals and families who may struggle to access mainstream therapy, including:
-
People on low incomes or benefits
-
Individuals excluded from traditional therapy routes
-
Young people (age 13+)
-

We aim to meet people where they are - emotionally, financially, and practically.

A Nature-Based Option (if it suits you)
While many clients prefer indoor counselling, we also offer nature-based therapy for those drawn to working outdoors. These sessions may take place in woodlands, meadows, or local green spaces, using nature as a grounding and healing element.
Our approach is flexible - you don’t need to be “outdoorsy” to benefit. What matters most is that you feel safe, supported, and able to show up as you are, wherever that may be.
Rooted in Care
As a mental health CIC, Earth Wisdom is committed to:
-
Affordability - transparent, reduced-cost pricing.
-
Inclusivity - welcoming people of all backgrounds, identities, and experiences.
-
Community - building connection, trust, and shared support.
Burgeoning Green Shoots & Dual Energies
Saturday 10th May 2025
-
10am until 1pm
Spring holds the delicate balance of stillness and momentum - burgeoning green shoots stretch toward the sun, while deep roots draw strength from the earth. By honouring both grounding and expansion, we attune ourselves to nature’s rhythm, embracing the dual energies within our own lives.
We have awakened with nature (January), breathed life into new beginnings (March), and now the wild greening energy of Spring reminds us that growth is both gentle and powerful, unfolding in its own time.
These workshops are part of a wider series of six, each exploring a different theme. They’re designed to stand alone, so you’re welcome to join at any point - whether that’s for just one, or several, depending on what feels right for you.
“The workshop was welcoming and relaxing. I felt a sense of my significance on our planet.”
